No, because it has a smaller wheelbase.

Or maybe because it's a different frame?

travel and weight, as said before, demo 7 has 7 inches, demo 8 has 8 inches, and demo 9 has 9 inches of travel. demo 9 is the heaviest ofr the lot, and it is heavy! the frame is a hole 1.5lbs heavier that the demo 8! id say go for demo 8, or demo 7 if your looking for something a bit more nimble

No, you're just trying to cover your ass so you seem right. Gimme a break. You're allowed to be wrong once in a while, no one is going to bite your head off, unless you don't cop to it.

read that again. That's why.

As you get higher up in the demo line, you get more travel and more weight.

Are you racing or doing fr?
